(Closed) We finally got our own apartment!!

I wrote an emotional post earlier, but now here’s a bit of good and exciting news.

FI and I finally got our own apartment. Granted, we can’t move in until November 1st, but I’m so friggin’ excited. I want to shop and decorate so badly. I’m also super stoked that we can spend Christmas with one another in our own place. It’s always been my dream to decorate our place for seasons. 😀 😀 😀

I’m also in need of some suggestions on where to buy some towels that cheap, but good quality (if that exists). Same goes with kitchen/living decor as well. Anything will help really. Can always trust in the bees!

@Rouquine: I found that JCP has cheap towels. Will they last you years? No. But they lasted at least 1 year when I lived on my own with my ex and they did the job just fine. Especially if you can find a coupon. Super cheap.

@MsNarwhal: Thank you! I will check them out. 😀 Unfortunately, we had to decide to move in together unexpectedly. Well, let me re-phrase. We were staying at his parent’s house and it wasn’t a good situation after awhile. My savings and pennies will be used for the move. It’s causing me so much anxiety, but it’s going to be for the better. Trust me, I know exactly how you feel though.

We bought all of our towels from the family dollar. (I know!) haha But seriously, they have lasted!!!! Look the same as the day we bought them, over a year ago! No snags or anything at all. Congratulations on the apartment! 🙂

I get our towels at Wal-Mart–the Better Homes and Garden brand only. They’re very nice and thick. You’ve got a little time, so you might want to troll Craigslist for your furniture. I got us a loveseat for $40 from a deploying marine who bought it new… he threw in an end table and lamp because he noticed me looking at them.

You may want to check out stores like Ross. They have good things to decorate (towels, shower curtains, etc). I’ve found some good towels at Bed Bath and Beyond, Target, Ross, and Burlington Coat Factory.

My SO got his towels at TJ Maxx on a whim.. super cheap and 2 years later, still fluffy and nice. TJ Maxx/Ross/Marshalls also have furniture but… ehhhhh. The deals aren’t as good on big pieces. I was very surprised with K-Mart online, actually. 3 shelf bookshelf for $10 and my desk with rollout keyboard tray and side shelf was $17 plus shipping. It’s all that fake wood stuff but it does the job and matches my room. When we move in at the end of the year, we’ll bring my Kmart furniture until we can afford really nice stuff.
